What is mdemo and how do I stop it?

To demonstrate the LCD and touchscreen capabilities, our older evaluation ramdisk root file systmes included mdemo, a microwindows demo process. To stop it, edit the file inittab and comment out the line:
mw:23:respawn:/root/mdemo
Then use the telinit command to get mdemo to go away:
telinit q

Our newer ramdisk root file systems use a nanox demo program. Comment out the line that runs the nxstart.sh shell script in /etc/inittab to stop the nanox demo from running.

You will have to update the ramdisk image to make the changes to inittab permanent.
